TO: Mr. David Miller, C.O.P.
FR: Congressman Steve Schiff
RE: Missed votes
DT: June 2, 1997
_____________________________________________________________________
First let me say that I believe you are contributing a valuable service
toward a more informed electorate, and I commend you for your efforts.
As to my own record, during my 8 years as District Attorney as well as my
service in Congress, I have rarely had occasion to take a "sick" day. Now
however, as I deal with radiation therapy to address a squamous cell
carcinoma (a type of skin cancer), I have remained in Albuquerque for
treatment and have recently missed a sizeable number of votes.
I am, however, continuing to work through my District Office to monitor
legislation, assist constituents who are having difficulties with federal
agencies, and even introduce legislation.
I am told by my Doctors that my long term prognosis is still excellent, and
that I will be able to resume my normal duties in the not too distant
future. In the meantime, the outpouring of support from my constituents and
concerned citizens from around the country has been very encouraging, and I
want to thank everyone for their understanding as I fight to put this cancer
behind me and to resume my service to New Mexico's First District and the
country as a whole.
Sincerely,
/S/
Steve Schiff
